If you've already got V3, then try playing with it using the male morph that comes with the body morph pack. The basic male morph is a good start, but you'll have to adjust some sizes (chest to 102% scale, etc) to get the male proportions right. Daz has the Male morph pack that comes with a very nice texture for V3 as an add-on with a number of different body types and male faces. There are no male cloths for V3 yet, so you'll have to do the best you can morphing the female clothing available. You'll also want to look at the threads here about V3 and male genitalia if it's a nude scene. There are few different methods to add genitalia to V3, most work pretty good. Mike 2 is definitly male, from the original design up. Mike 2 has LOTS of textures available, and can be made to look just about any age from 14 (Loris and Mikey packages available here), to very old. There's lots of clothing available for him too. If you're in a hurry, get Mike, download some free cloths here and go. No playing around with V3 to get the male look right. I like V3 as a male because it is high res, and it isn't Mike. The face and body types don't look like Mike's at all. V3 is great to use with Mike to get two completely different characters. If I'm doing a solo male piece or a male/female, I tend to use Mike. Either way, you can't go wrong. The Daz models are the only really versitile high res characters. Note: If you do get Mike 2, look at the CD with the clothing packs included. It's the best bang for the buck when getting him.
